It was the creation of Hong Kong businessman T.T. Tsui who began collecting antiques in the 1970s and was featuring rotating exhibits from the 3,000-piece collection. Chinese ceramics ranging from the painted pottery of the Neolithic period to the porcelain of the Qing Dynasty formed the collection's cornerstone. In addition, the scope of the Tsui Museum encompassed bronzes; bamboo, wood and ivory carvings; jade, Vitreous enamel|enamelled ware, glass, furniture, Han Dynasty tomb statues. Formerly located in the old Bank of China building, the museum had moved to Henley Building, at 5 Queen's Road, Central. Mr. Tsui has also founded the Tsui Art Foundation, and loaned a part of his collection to Hong Kong University (University Museum and Art Gallery) and has made donations to galleries in Australia, England and the United States. In the late 1990s, the stand-alone museum closed and its collections have been dispatched to several museums in Hong Kong and around the world. Notable hosts of the collection are the University Museum and Art Gallery and the Hong Kong Heritage Museum. See also: Museums in Hong Kong
